title: Preventing cancer.
abstract: Advancements in management protocols and chemotherapeutics have improved outcomes for patients diagnosed with cancer. Cancer, however, continues to claim many lives annually in the United States and around the world. There is a large body of evidence that is strong and consistent that through modification of diet and lifestyle habits, cancer can be a preventable disease. This article discusses these changes and highlights the evidence for and against implementing them.
